Notes The pages are attached using a steel pin. The edges of the front 'memo' are also slightly torn. The main two pages show signs of fire damage/severe discolouration. The back page is most severe. The page is severely discoloured here and the paper is more brittle. The damage may be a result of reading the paperwork too close to a lantern/candle. The reverse of the back page shows the fire damage to be in a perfect square.The paperwork has been folded previously and the fold lines are evident.
